QET Tech Aerospace Signs MRO Contract

Officials from QET Tech Aerospace (QTA), a Mexican company based in CD Obregon, Sonora Mexico, have signed a maintenance contract with Transportes Aereo Regionales (TAR), a new regional airline. The contract is for all the airline’s maintenance operations, and QTA will open line stations in all the airports the airline will serve. Heavy maintenance will be made in QTA’s new aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility in the international airport at Ciudad Obregón, Mexico.

 

“Our target market, to launch the MRO, is Mexican airlines that presently outsource their aircraft for MRO services,” says Julio César Alvarez Flores, CEO, QET Tech Aerospace. 

 

Mike Dornenburg, vice president of operations, QET Tech Aerospace, adds, “Our team is very excited about this opportunity to demonstrate our expertise and commitment to customer service. We will provide TAR with the quality, turnaround times and value that are critical to TAR's success as a fast-growing airline in a highly competitive market."

 

TAR Aerolíneas, part of the MAFRA Group, is a new Regional Airline based in Queretaro, Mexico which aims to develop low-density regional routes throughout the country. The first phase will be launched in November 2013, with three ERJ145LRs with services to Monterrey, Guadalajara, Acapulco, Puebla, Ixtapa, Cuernavaca, Puerto Vallarta, and Durango. The second phase is planned to expand the fleet by twelve more ERJ145 aircraft.

 

Enrique Guerrero Nieto, MAFRA Group CEO says, “We made the decision to outsource the entire maintenance so we can focus on our primary business; getting our customers to where they want to go. We chose QTA because of all the resources they were able to offer and their professionalism in addressing our needs.”
